Don't forget that the AROS (icaros) and MOS (butterfly) keys are also available as a pledge...not long now. ;)

MINI STRETCH GOAL

Let's reach £6400 and each Reward will include a metal and plastic key cap puller so you can safely remove your key caps. ;)

Congratulations to making the goal. Use the extra money to order some extra keyboards and sell them. We are gonna need these in the future too :)

Thanks. :)
It always amazes me how much the community gets behind projects. Any spare cash will go into paying for the second and final X500 Pro prototype. Thanks!

The key caps puller mini stretch goal has been reached.
It's something I wanted to do so people will be able to safely use what I think is the best key caps puller.
Many thanks. :)

The "The Games Machine Edition"...it's taken me just over two weeks but I managed to squeeze some of the most iconic games characters created for the Amiga. More of a design exercise, I had to rework some of the sprites but the end result is decent enough.

A celebration of the machine's power and programmers' skills.
Please no comments such as: "why is X, Y, Z game not there"...I chose the ones who were better suited...I made difficult choices...and some didn't fit on a 1.5cmx1.5cm key! :D

Some shots:

The "The Games Machine Edition"


Now that is a thing of beauty!

Very nice work.  Some might find the functionality a problem, but I don't look at the keys anyway!

Congratulations! I hope you will not use the money to send people their keyboards but also make a little "surplus" to sell in the Amiga stores ;)

Hi everyone and thank you very much for being part of this project and supporting it with such energy and dedication, you've all been great.

Please be patient, there are quite a few things to sort out starting with Kickstarter moving the funds across once all the fees, VAT etc...have been deducted then I'll kick into action with whatever is left of the money. :D

If you don't hear from me for the next 4-5 days please don't panic...it doesn't mean I've retired to the Bahamas...it's just that I need to organise myself first...lots and lots to do.

Thank you again for the incredible support!

Thanks, it's been a lot of hard work (and more still to come) but it'd have been lost without you guys. ;)

I've obviously missed the kickstarter deadline (congrats by the way), does that mean I cant buy the keys?

Thanks.
